Does a green building cost less to create and maintain than a conventional building? The General Services Administration (GSA) says yes.

“Look at lifecycle costs and buyback time. For example, with photovoltaics, you might look at tying it back into the grid so you can push power back onto the grid and see what utility rates you get from that,” said Lilly.
